Dear all, As you will know Dotty stepped down from Council at the closure of this Dublin ICANN meeting. As you will also know Dotty is serving on the Travel Funding Committee. In order to avoid a vacancy, in particular in view of the upcoming round of travel funding, Council would need to appoint another Councillor as soon as possible. To make this feasible we kindly request Councillors to put their name forward for this function, preferably by 30 October 2015, either by sending me an email directly or to the list. If there will be more one candidate, Council will be requested to appoint the member through the process that was used for the selection and appointment of the ccNSO representative on the NomCom. The role of the travel funding committee, in particular the role of the committee itself, is described in the travel funding guideline, which can be found at: http://ccnso.icann.org/about/travel-funding. Currently, the other members of the Travel Funding Committee are: Celia (NomCom appointee, and living in NA) and Katrina (EU Region). According to travel funding guideline, members of the travel funding committee should preferably from different Geographic Regions. Kind regards, Bart
